About the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X35S
The B02-ACQ32X35S is a double-acting JIS compact cylinder engineered for welding-line automation. The B02- prefix marks it as a welding-industry dedicated variant of the ACQ32X35S, meaning it is mechanically identical to the base model but targeted at robotic spot welding and clamping cells. It delivers a 402.1 N push and 301.6 N pull at 0.5 MPa, utilizing a 16 mm piston rod.
This thin profile relies on a C-clip and riveted assembly to minimize axial footprint where space is tight. The 32 mm bore uses a fixed NBR elastomer bumper at each end to absorb end-stop impact rather than an adjustable air cushion. Because this unit includes the -S option, it features an integrated magnet compatible with AirTAC reed or electronic solid-state switches mounted in the body grooves.

Where the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X35S Is Used
Spot Welding Gun Clamping
Provides 402.1 N of extend force at 0.5 MPa to position and hold lower gun arms in robotic spot welding fixtures.
Fixture Plate Indexing
Shifts small clamping plates 35 mm in automated welding cells where the short C-clip body prevents interference with torch paths.
Workpiece Ejection
Pushes welded assemblies out of the station using the 301.6 N retract force, clearing the cell for the next cycle.
Is the Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X35S the Right Cylinder?
When sizing this actuator, compare its 402.1 N push force at 0.5 MPa against adjacent bores. Stepping down to a 25 mm bore yields 245.4 N, while stepping up to a 40 mm bore provides 628.3 N. Note that a plain compact cylinder like this drifts when air pressure is lost or the valve is centered, as the fixed bumper only decelerates the piston near stroke end rather than locking it; a fail-safe hold requires an external rod lock or pilot-operated check valve. To order, confirm the 32 mm bore, 35 mm stroke, PT1/8 port, female M8x1.25 rod thread, and the required -S magnet.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Short-body depth vs. a round-body cylinder
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G / NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (S) for sensors?
- ✓ Female (blank) or male (B) rod thread
- ✓ Side load — avoid on a compact rod
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the short piston rod.
- check Very long strokes are unsuitable for the compact body.
- check Handle the C-clip carefully; seat it fully in its groove.
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac B02-ACQ Ultra-Thin Welding Special Cylinder B02-ACQ32X35S FAQ
This 32 mm bore cylinder provides a push force of 402.1 N and a pull force of 301.6 N at 0.5 MPa. At 0.7 MPa, the push force is 562.9 N, with a maximum push capacity of 82 kgf at 1.0 MPa. It operates between 0.15-1.0 MPa and runs at speeds of 30-500 mm/s.
The B02- prefix designates this as a welding-industry dedicated variant of the ACQ32X35S, sharing the exact same physical specifications as the base model. It uses fixed NBR elastomer bumpers at both ends to absorb impact, which are not field-adjustable; for high-energy welding automation cycles, you should slow the approach or add an external shock absorber.
